Contest for a SIGNED copy of Once A Witch by Carolyn MacCullough

Thanks to the amazing, Jenny, at Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, I have a fablous signed copy of Once A Witch by Carolyn MacCullough to give away! If you haven't heard what it's about before, here's the summary:

Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and she was supposed to be one of the most Talented among them. But Tamsin's magic never showed up. Now seventeen, Tamsin attends boarding school in Manhattan, far from her family. But when a handsome young professor mistakes her for her very Talented sister, Tamsin agrees to find a lost family heirloom for him. The search—and the stranger—will prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the sins of her family, and unleash a power so vengeful that it could destroy them all. This is a spellbinding display of storytelling that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.

Intrigued, yet? Well, you should be, it's a really cute book. :)

Eeeek! I totally forgot the secret power thing! Please don't disqualify my post! I would like...to walk through walls. You know...make myself transmute or whatever it's called. Complete and total control over my atomic makeup. Yeah, that sounds cool.

It would be cool to be able to transport anywhere. That way, you can travel the world. and you can escape from your fears with no one can bothering you. But eventually you would have to face up to the challenge :(

If I could have any supernatural power it would probably to read people's minds. There have been so many times that I wish I knew what people were thinking and I couldn't. This book looks so, so amazing and I cant wait to read it!

+4 for alreading being a follower+1 for commenting on the review, which was amazing.+1 commenting the interview which was also good+2 linked in sidebarhttp://insidethemindjm.blogspot.com+2 tweeted about it@jmoose09

This does sound great! I have been trying not to add to my TBR pile, but I can't resist here. :)

I've actually said this before about having a supernatural power, that I'd like to be able to be invisible. With that ability, you could really get in and out of conversations, see how & what people are doing, etc.

I am a follower of your blog already.I also linked your giveaway on the sidebar of my blog at http://mjmbecky.blogspot.com

Compulsion to use on giveaway organizers so they pick me for their awesomely fantastical books every time.. weaken their resistance and penetrate their mind continually with my name buahahahahaa -coughsplutter- I mean... I'd love the ability to teleport. I feel like Chinese for dinner - I'm going to China! Picnic? Let's have a romantic time on the MOON. Ohh I want to visit beautiful Italy, I'll zap us there during lunch break! No restrictions on it, because I also wish to teleport to Hogwarts =D

I can't wait to read Once A Witch! Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :)hanging.by.a.moment_@hotmail.com

When I was younger, it would be to fly. But now, I think I want to time travel. I would love the chance to see and talk to my grandparents and most importantly, to get to know my dad better (he passed away when I was in high school).

I would love to get inside people's heads and convince them to agree to what I'm saying or to make them do as I asked. I know, evil MUAHAHAHAHAH. ;) That and/or mind reading which I've always been fascinated by.

My super power is kinda lame. I would like to be able to speak any language or play any instrument. Dorky, right?+2-4?I am a follower, but I am not sure when I became one, so...+1 review comment+2 I posted a sidebar link @ Book Rat

And for my supernatural power can I just be a witch? I want the wand, the magic book, the talking cat, the works! But if it needs to be specific...I want to fly, with my own wings, a hippogriff, a broom, whatever it takes to get me the freedom of the skies!

Great giveaway! If I could have a power I would want to be able to teleport. I love to travel and just to be able to snap my fingers and instantly be somewhere else would be awesome. Plus, I could sleep in and not have to worry about being late because I would haven't to drive anywhere :)

+4 for already being a follower+1 commented on review+1 commented on author interview!

If I could have any supernatural powers I would definitely want the powers to be able to control objects (bring them to me or put them in their place) and to fly. Both of these would help me so much since I have JRA and am stuck in a wheelchair. But alas no powers today.

+4 for already being a follower+1 for commenting on my review of Once A Witch here.+1 for commenting on my interview with Carolyn below. She sounds so fun.

Please enter me in this contest I have been REALLY wanting to read this book!

Wow, I would love to be able to travel in time, so I could go back and relive some of my best memories...I guess that would imply remembering where in time to go to find them. :)
